This is the second in my series of Lost Amigo snowflakes. I didn’t write the pattern for this snowflake when I first created it because I wasn’t too impressed with the final product back then. But I like it now! Thank you, Krista, for helping me realize I had some forgotten snowflake patterns to write!
You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell or republish the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!

Wash paintbrush and container thoroughly. Allow snowflake to dry at least 24 hours. Remove pins. Gently peel snowflake from wax paper or plastic wrap.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat!
DeleteYou are very clever with your patterns! It is wonderful to have an indoor interest to compliment your cycling.
ReplyDeleteAmen to having something to do inside when it's snowing, Paul!
DeleteLove the different blocking effects! It's amazing how it changes the whole look of the flake.
ReplyDeleteP.S. What pretty blue-shaded yarn ... who dyed that, I wonder? :)
Um, yeah, Sue, I think you read my mind. I dyed... can't wait to dye some more! I like blocking the same flake in different ways to see how many different looks I can get.
Delete"Lost Amigo" snowflake.... I just love it
